for the garden at least. Work in the craft room has been temporarily put on hold, as I have been anxious to finish off as much as possible in the garden whilst I can still get out there without freezing my fingers off π I think I have now just about reached the point where the garden will have to be left to its own devices for a few months, but I do still have a few photos to share with you!
Last month I told you that I had moved some ferns into this raised bed near the bathroom extension. I have since moved a somewhat sad-looking butterfly bush and two more ferns into the bed, along with a lamium. They had all been in the path border that will eventually be grassed over. I really must get that little bird bath scrubbed out π³
The old wheelbarrow had spent the summer in the kitchen courtyard, filled with argyranthemum Grandaisy Pink Halo. They have been moved into the greenhouse for the winter, so I was able to get some winter/spring bedding planted in their place. The barrow is now filled with primula Scentsation Rhubard and Custard. I also moved it round to the front garden, to sit on the stone chippings near the fern bed.
The little plugs had been languishing in the plant tray they had been grown in and were starting to look a little sad, so I was eager to get the poor little buggers planted out! They soon perked up and one has even started to flower π
By the end of last week the greenhouse was starting to fill up with the tender perennials.....next time I'll show you how much is crammed in there now π

I shall probably rearrange the stuff on the bookshelves at some point, but Gervaise, Jolly Molly, and Gloria will stay where they are. They like to see what's going on in the craft room and supervise my antics π

Remembrance...

They shall not grow old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
from his poem For the Fallen,
written in September 1914
